I would sail away home...

21 more days on the voyage of the damned...

David Ryshpien, former voyager and pianist/composer, has a nice piece on his blog about the ongoing post-'73 jazz conversation. Highly recommended. Also, I now have a cameo on Dave Douglas' blog. Validation is always nice.

One thing that strikes me there, I can't get over the fact that in the early 70's Braxton was signed to Arista, a huge label. I guess it just goes to show exactly how much the game has changed. And Braxton himself is an interesting case, one I hope to talk about more soon. Destination Out has some really cool big band stuff he did in the 70's at present.
